Disciplined for Dancing.

BURLINGTON, Nov. 2l.-Father Treacy,
rector, OF 81. Papl's Roman Catholic, Church,
has stirred up a hornet nest among tho young
people of his parish by, suspending a majority
Of tho choir Tor attending a dancing school;
The mass Yesterday morning was celebrated
ready and willing, but an acolyte In n red cas-
sock went to the organ, loft and told them that
Father Treacy desired them to omit singing
and take their seats with the people. There was
no explanation. for the cause was well known.
Some, time ago n number of young mel or
gained tho Ternsichorean Society and engaged
Prof. Mclaughlin as tho instructor. Father
Trency found that the, regular weekly DANCES
were attended largely by his people. He warned
the young ladies' belonging TO the order OF the
Children OF Mary that their vows would not
allow them to dance. A number. however, took
tho chances and enjoyed tho May waltz. Many
OF the ladies who danced We're member of tho
choir, These he ordered TO yncate their places
until thev had properly atoncd for their con-
duct. The. young men no charges with induc-
ing tho girls TO violate their vows, and he
placed them under discipline.
Last night tho few member Of tho choir not
charged with going to the sociable gathered
together a number OF the singers In the conere-
CATION and an impromptu choir furnished the
music. The Terpsichorean Society will hold o
meeting and take some action In the matter.
